[QUOTE="tacosupreme, post: 2546811, member: 107107"] I tried a few different powders using resized 7mmRem Mag ADG brass, Federal LRM primers, 3.517" coal. I worked up to all of these charges, but should get you in the ballpark with your shorter barrel. 59 grains of 7828ssc = 2997 fps, Sd 5, ES 11fps, half moa. Very mild load, no pressure signs. 74.9 grains US869 = 3087 fps, Sd 8, ES 15 fps, one moa. 65.0 grains Ramshot Magnum = 2940fps Sd 12 ES 23 fps, poor accuracy. I gave up on this powder but didn't write down why. 72.8 grains 24n41 = I don't want to say, it was fast, but poor SD/ES, poor accuracy, and mild bolt lift. I didn't blow my face off, may be worth exploring if you're braver than me. [/QUOTE]
